Here’s a link to the Shear Madness show. Check it out! Really interesting!!

Morro Fleece Works is a truly reliable place to send your fleece for processing! Several of my friends have used her services and are full of accolades for what she sends back to them.

I’m very excited to get my 2 kilos of fleece from Stansborough Farm in New Zealand! I’ll post pictures when it arrives!!

I hope you’ll check out Fiber Trek podcast! This videocast is so interesting and Sarah is very knowledgeable and informative!!

Most of you are here because of the Knitmore Girls podcast so I’m sure you are already familiar with Jasmine and Gigi.

And the Twinset Designs Podcast is truly worth tuning in to. But be aware that Jan and Ellen will soon become like old friends. : )

The Columbia Gorge Fiber Festival is coming up this weekend, April 18-20, 2014. I will be there Saturday, the 19th. If you’re in the area, come by and say “hi”! I’ll be spinning with my spinning group on my new Hansen Mini Spinner.

For those of you who were holding your breath waiting for the results of Rick’s playoff tennis match…His team did not win on Saturday, therefore, Rick did not get to play on Sunday. Boo!

By the way, my sincere apologies to Angela Tong for completely butchering her last name on the podcast. I didn’t realize her last name was spelled with an ‘o’ and not an ‘a’. Next time I will be sure of someone’s name BEFORE we record.

This is how much hay you can get in the back of a Ram diesel.

Here’s my “What was I thinking?” Shawl which I made during the Ysolda Teague Follow Your Arrow Mystery Shawl Knit Along. Made out of Kauni Rainbow.

Finished spinning up this BFL/Silk that I dyed last year. Can’t wait to cast on the Monsoon Shawl by Angela Tong found in the Spring 2014 issue of Interweave Knits.

Here is the sampler I made in the 6 hour Linda Gettman Rigid Heddle Weaving class I was blessed with at Madrona.

Note the ‘inlay’ pattern I chose. Hee hee

And here is a picture of my sock knitting idea. Two different socks on one circular needle. So far it’s working for me.

Sock on the left is Plymouth Happy Feet color 25, and on the right Biscottie & Cie in Melon D’eau.

Check out the Fish Lips Kiss Heel. So simple!Here is the sock that I picked up in a yarn swap and posted to the Surrogate Sock Knitters Group on Ravelry. The pattern is a from a sock of the month club and unfortunately, I don't have the name nordo I know the name of the yarn.

And the Cascading Leaves Shawl overly festooned with beads which you can barely see in the picture. This was made from handspun from Sosae Caetano fiber that was gifted to me. (Sorry for the weird lighting on the 2nd and 3rd photos.)

When I go to Madrona, I stay with Ilga who owns Edgewood Garden Studios. She dyes the most beautiful fiber and has amazing handspun yarn. Check it out!IN OUR WINEGLASS:
Although we were supposed to review a Graer Burgunder, our wine review got hi-jacked by Cupcake Angel Food white wine. My favorite!
